Halloween night at Qwest Field in Seattle was a raucous affair with the Seattle fans in full voice. Unfortunately Seattle's tactics on the field were negated by LA and a fortuitous goal. Some will say the goal was luck but strikers shoot at all angles and at all times with hopes of scoring. Sunday night that is what Edson Buddle did and has done all year long, and Bruce Arena's tactical awareness shown. Seattle has all to play for when they visit sunny Carson California on November 7th, I for one hope Sigi and the boys can pull a rabbit out of the hat!!
Seattle Sounders vs. LA Galaxy highlights (MLS Playoffs) 0-1
Seattle came out on fire and in the first 40 seconds they had already put a scare into LA on Halloween but Zakuani's goal was ruled off side. From that point on Seattle seemed to chase the game a bit and when they couldn't create the usual flank play they have thrived on they played long ball and as everyone saw it didn't work!
